Poetry-sound project Cloud Circuit draws inspiration from communication glitches and lost connections. Poet Deanna Radford channels her iterative text reams into deconstructed “words of mouth,” while sound artist Jeremy Young employs sine waves in flux, 1/4" magnetic tape, and captured radio airs. In performance, Cloud Circuit’s approach is collaborative and improvisational, with their sound being composed, dissected, and refracted.

In 2020, Cloud Circuit’s debut EP, Bur sting brea k'r, was released by Archive Officielle, and they performed as part of Vicky Mettler and Zach Scholes’ Live in Concrete series. In 2023, they issued a live recording of the experience on 10” lathe-cut vinyl and cassette.

The duo has shared the stage with artists including Phew, Sam Prekop, Lea Bertucci, David Grubbs, Vito Ricci, Ora Clementi (crys cole & James Rushford), Jessica Pavone, skintone, Alex Zhang Hungtai, Paul Dutton, Ron Whitehead, Sarah Pagé, Greg Davis, Khaleefa "Apollo the Child" Hamdan, Alessandra Eramo, Jessica Ackerley, and others.

In the spring of 2023, Cloud Circuit performed in Berlin and were invited Ambassadors of the Embassy of Utopia at the Tartu International Literary Festival Prima Vista in Estonia. In the fall of 2024, they completed a tour of Western Canada, featuring performances at send + receive: a festival of sound in Winnipeg and at Bug Incision with New Works Calgary.
